    Simple provocative maneuvers in renal transplant scintigraphy for detecting urine leak

    Urine leak in the early postoperative period following renal transplantation is a serious complication requiring early identification and aggressive intervention, which significantly reduces the morbidity and mortality. Renal transplant scintigraphy is a noninvasive method to evaluate the perfusion and function of a transplanted kidney and urinary drainage including urine leak. Here, we reported two cases in which the standard transplant renogram failed to demonstrate urine leak. The cases were referred for a diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid renogram following the transplantation to evaluate the cause of symptoms or elevated serum creatinine level. In both the cases, urine leak was successfully detected following simple maneuvers such as diuretic administration or Foley catheter irrigation. Renal transplant scintigraphy is an effective and safe technique and the use of these simple maneuvers can enhance the diagnostic sensitivity of the transplant renogram in the detection of urine leak.

    The clinical utility of 99(m)Tc-HMPAO SPECT in Fahr's disease

    Fahr's disease is a rare neurodegenerative syndrome, characterized by massive symmetrical intracerebral calcifications of the basal ganglia, dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and the adjacent parenchyma. Computerized tomography (CT) is considerably more sensitive to detect these intracranial calcifications than other imaging modalities. The clinical, CT scan, and 99(m)Tc-D,L-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99(m)Tc-HMPAO) brain perfusion single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) findings in a 42-year-old woman with Fahr's disease are reported, and the clinical utility of 99(m)Tc-HMPAO SPECT findings in Fahr's disease is discussed in this article. In conclusion, 99(m)Tc-HMPAO brain perfusion SPECT seems to be useful in the clinical approach to Fahr's disease, and may provide more specific and clinically relevant information when compared with anatomical imaging.

    Quantitative shunt imaging in the evaluation of therapeutic surgery in a patient with pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2008) DEDE, FUAT; Ones, Tunc; Dede, Fuat; Erdim, Refik; Erdil, Tanju Yusuf; Inanir, Sabahat; Yuksel, Mustafa; Turoglu, Halil Turgut
    A case of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) in a 32-year-old woman who underwent successful left upper lobectomy is presented. A whole-body technetium-99m-labeled macro-aggregated albumin scan was used to demonstrate intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt, and shunt fraction was calculated as 39%. The patient underwent a follow-up scan after the operation
